Dr Frances, facial expert

Hello, I'm Dr Frances

Hi, I'm Dr Frances, mum to three lovely humans and one energetic (and forever hungry!) Labrador, and, for over a decade, I have been passionate about faces.

I first qualified as a dentist, fascinated by the science of this discipline, but my passion for facial treatments, including anti-wrinkle methods, really started with my personal journey. Early on I was drawn to finding novel treatments, that, through the smallest, safest and subtlest of touches, could help my face maintain a fresh and relaxed demeanour. Over a decade later and approaching 40, along with my long list of happy clients, my anti-wrinkle treatments have become a mainstay in my personal self-care regimen. It takes significantly less time than a facial, is clinically safe and is the closest you can get to that post-holiday relaxed look, without actually getting on a plane!

  • The Treatment is so Subtle

    “I really wish I had started sooner! The treatment is so subtle, but really makes a difference. And having a trained clinician, like Dr Frances, puts my mind at complete ease.” Claire S.

  • I Wish I had done it Sooner

    It's always so good to talk with you :). I love your honesty and humour and calm approach. I was so nervous about doing Botox for the first time & now I wish I had done it sooner. One happy customer. Thank you x

  • Dr Frances Listened

    Superb. Dr Frances listened to what I wanted to achieve, and advised on the best treatment. Not what I thought I needed, but exactly the outcome I wanted. Highly recommend.

  • The 'Forehead' Lines

    These horizontal lines across the forehead appear over time, as the skin starts to lose some of its naturally occurring collagen. Our foreheads are highly expressive, we use them to communicate a wide range of emotions from disbelief, and surprise to sympathy and even skepticism! An anti-wrinkle treatment here will soften the lines, whilst maintaining the beautiful character of those expressions that you definitely want to keep.

  • The 'Eleven' Lines

    Frown lines are the vertical creases that develop between your eyebrows when you frown. Informally they're also known as 'eleven' lines.' When we are young, these lines only occur when we knit our brows together, but as we get older our skin loses its 'bounce' and the lines remain long after our brow has relaxed. If you frown consistently, pulling your eyebrows together and creating these vertical lines, then after a while, they'll start to stick around.

  • The 'Laughter' Lines

    Often rather uncharitably called 'crow's feet', the lines that gather by our eyes are visible proof of a life fully lived! However, I know over time these continue to deepen, making the wearing of make-up problematic, with products sitting in these lines, and creating less than ideal moats of foundation. An anti-wrinkle injection here will ease the depth of the lines, whilst maintaining full expression.

  • Profhilo

    Ultra-pure hyaluronic acid is precisely injected into 5 specific areas of the face. Unlike wrinkle reducing and dermal filler treatments, Profhilo stimulates collagen and elastin, attracting water in the deeper layers of the skin. There is no down time with this treatment and you need two sessions for the best results. A definite way to combat tired, lacklustre skin, you will instantly looked firmer, and the ingredients are working hard underneath the skin to regain fresher plumper skin over time. This treatment really does work and is a must for anyone wanting to keep collagen production at optimal levels.

  • Neck Profhilo

    It's easy to forget about the neck, but it is the single most tell-tale sign of ageing. Treating your neck can truly transform how you look and feel, but often it flies under the radar, especially compared to other treatments. My method will improve both the skin texture and firmness, of your neck.

  • Subtle Lips

    Over time lips will naturally start to lose volume, leading to a thinness of texture. My lip work is very subtle, and will simply restore the volume lost.

  • Is it safe?

    Yes. Botulinum toxin has been studied in detail - not only is it used in facial treatments, it is also a prescription medication used to treat conditions such as migraines. This means it is safe and very well tolerated by the body.

  • Will it look obvious?

    No. I firmly believe that beauty lies in the lines we have in our faces - they each tell a story. My clients come to me for my natural, discreet and subtle approach.

  • How long does it last for?

    First things first, it takes a couple of weeks for the anti-wrinkle treatment to take full effect, so I tell my clients not to expect an instant result. Secondly, the treatment will last for 3-4 months, after which it will wear off.

  • Do I have to commit long term?

    No. The common misconception is that once you start doing anti-wrinkle treatments, you will remain 'locked in'. My recommendation is to start with a booking once a quarter, no more. If you'd like to adjust this at any point, we can increase just as you wish.

  • How do I know when is the right time?

    Fact: any type of frown line will only deepen over time, if left to its own devices. If you have been toying with the idea of getting anti-wrinkle treatments for the past few months (or even years!), your lines over this time have grown increasingly comfortable where they are. Now is always the right time, if you want to help your skin regain some of its former firmness.

  • Do you do home visits?

    Yes. I have a clinic in Tavistock Square for those in central London, but, I know as a mum and business owner, there are only so many hours in the day! I am very familair with home appointments across South West London including Richmond and St Margarets.
